Performance Lectures on Art and Science
By Susan Bustos and Amos Latteier
Friday, May 12, 2006, 9pm
York Quay Centre
235 Queens Quay West
Art and information meet in an entertaining evening of performative lectures by Susan Bustos and Amos Latteier. Scientist Susan Bustos has performed around the world, adopting the mantle of evil scientist to discuss pseudo-fictions in feminist forms of bio-chemical mutation and other hot topics. For this event she’ll speak about the parallel worlds of knitting and proteins. International performer Amos Latteier has delivered his multi-media performative lectures in Europe and the USA. His ground-breaking work on pigeon aerial photography has achieved wide recognition from artists and geeks alike. Tonight he will inform and enlighten us on the timely topic of Ant and Human Societies.
Susan Bustos is a graduate student in biochemistry at the University of Toronto where she researches the structure and misfunction of mutant red blood cell proteins. She writes and publishes ladyscientist, a zine about women in science, career anxiety and crafty experiments. She likes to knit and is amazed at how the process of knitting parallels protein synthesis in the cell.
Amos Latteier is an interdisciplinary artist who performs PowerPoint lectures and creates interactive public art using technology. He delivers slide lectures on scientific and cultural topics including ant societies, models, statistics, and pigeon aerial photography. He has performed lectures across North America and in Europe. His recent public art projects include a cell phone-controlled slide show, a chainsaw-powered walking machine, a 500 lb potato battery, and several hovercrafts.
I'd be totally chuffed with just one hovercraft on my resume. (I think I'll add one, dammit, why not!)
...well, I do have those submarines (but I never get to show them off to anyone because they're always under water.)
supercavitationiciousexpialidocious!
From reading a bookstore blurb I believe Michael Crichton's latest globehopping thriller is based on covert transportation of supercavitation technology that has the power to end Life as We Know It.
I wonder if Amos Latteier has that power. Perhaps he'll share it with us. (hopefully there will be a question & answer period and we can ask him to make us a hovercraft too. Sally, could you drop him a few hints in that direction?)
The Q&A is already programmed. But I can't promise that he'll deliver any tech specs. Although he is gonna be talking about ants....
So the artists would prefer that the audience not be sugared up and fixated on hovercrafts.
